A Chicago lawyer, Robert Held, is suing federal agent Adam Saracco after a December 2025 gas station altercation where Saracco allegedly pushed him to the ground—later admitting to misdemeanor battery for trying to snatch his phone. Held argues the assault should’ve been felony charges, citing public recording as protected speech and the victim’s age as factors. This isn’t his first run-in with authorities—he was briefly arrested last fall during protests but released uncharged. Now, he’s pursuing civil action for what he sees as inadequate accountability and suppression of evidence.
